Magpie #42

I had always sought after,
Recognition,
Acceptance,
And praise.

But now I'm learning,
Self-worth,
Intrinsic value,
And pride.

Trophies often tarnish.

  5. Very nicely put, Kevin... Trophies may get old.. but those virtues never really die.. They (the latter) are the REAL trophy!
    A thought provoking little piece!
